    FCB1010 troubles

    1.)
    You aren't stuck with that; try a MIDI translator. An old free one no longer developed was Insert PIZ Here, and I currently use Bome MIDI Translator, which is not free but is the best thing ever. MJDJ MIDI Morph might work too. There may be other free ones out there.
    One way this is awesome is it allows for you to send a momentary switch as a Note signal, which is inherently momentary in the FCB1010, then have the MIDI translator convert that to a CC, which is what you'll send to Amplitube. With this you can have all ten of your pedals in any combination of momentary and latch. You could even have a Note signal converted to a Program Change message for momentary switching of presets, if you were so inclined.

    Now, to send a Latch with a value of 127 the first time and 0 the second time, I know for sure you can do this with the Bome Software by using it's internal "Preset Change" outgoing signal, which allows you essentially to send a different MIDI signal each time you press the same pedal. In your case, you'd send the CC value 127 the first time and value 0 the second time.

    You can go way way beyond that and program as many steps in a sequence like that as you want, and you can make it as crazy as you want too, so your programming can get as complicated as your imagination. As guitarists, our MIDI needs tend to be humble, relative to synth players or, e.g., or a live mixing engineer automating a million things at once, but if you have a desire to control your VSTs in a way not set up out of the box by the product designers, you should be able to do pretty much anything in the 7-bit MIDI world with an eProm FCB1010 and a MIDI Translator.

    2.)
    OK -- So after ~2 WEEKS of waiting for Behringer support to get back to me, they finally did.
    The problem is that the FCB1010 only supports latched switching, not momentary (or stomp box style) switching. To get that functionality out of the FCB1010 the best thing is to upgrade to a 3rd party PROM. After considering the options, I've decided on the "UnO" PROM chip. It will arrive in a few days, that should solve all the problems I am having.

    I would recommend this to anyone else considering using the FCB1010 with ANY software VST including AmpliTube to control individual stomp box effects. If all you want to do is use each switch to take you to a separate preset, you can do that with the stock PROM chip, but controlling individual stomp boxes or tuning individual effects on and off isn't going to happen.

    3.)
    If it helps, even though it is months later I got this working with my FCB1010. You need to use the "Controller toggle function" on your FCB1010. Turn on both CNT1 and CNT2 for the preset you want to toggle and ensure they are both on the same CC number - by default it'll have 0 for the first on and 127 for the second. If you set this up and then do a learn on the switch you want to toggle it'll work, no latch setting required.

    @BEAT16 did you write that or copy it from someplace else? The author of the post is not clear about what actually happened. So the new PROM shows up and gets installed.Then "it's working", but it's not really indicative of what actually worked.

    Did the upgrade PROM deal with the issue, or did clicking the right functions?

    Halo @clone, the user @Peter Bomhof, wrote me once if I can help him.

    I have neither the device at home, so I can not understand it, I searched a little on the Internet and sent him several times these posts to solve the problem, because no one else here has answered him.

    He has had the problem for a very long time:
